Seriously Satisfying Jalapeno Hamburgers And Roasted Lemon Potatoes
This Jalapeno Hamburgers And Roasted Lemon Potatoes is my take on the classic grilled hamburger and roasted potatoes meal.
Ingredients
TO MAKE THE JALAPENO HAMBURGERS:
1 pound ground beef (minced beef) - ground chuck, ground same day
3 medium jalapeño - seeds removed and finely diced
2 cloves garlic - finely diced
½ teaspoon ground black pepper- ½ teaspoon garlic pepper seasoning - fresh ground
TO MAKE THE ROASTED LEMON AND HERB POTATOES:
4 large potatoes - cut into large cubes
1 large lemon - zested and quartered
1 tablespoon chives - finely chopped
1 teaspoon thyme - fresh
1 tablespoon olive oil - extra virgin- 2 cloves garlic - sliced
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
To Make The Jalapeño Hamburgers:
- The directions are simple, mix ingredients, form patties with your mixture, and cook the hamburgers using your preferred method. Here’s how we did it:
- Mix ground chuck, jalapenos, garlic, salt, and pepper.
- Make 3 patties and try to create a concave (valley) in the center of the burgers to keep them from swelling. No tennis ball-shaped hamburgers, please.
- Preheat the grill to 450 degrees F.
- Place hamburgers over direct flame and cook for 7-9 minutes on each side.
- Add toppings and condiments of choice.
To Make The Roasted Lemon and Herb Potatoes:
- Ok, I have to admit it. We love the jalapeno burgers, but this meal was really about me wanting to try a new method for roasting potatoes on the grill. Over the years, I’ve done the oven-baked method, the oven roast method, the grill in foil pouch method, and so on, but this time I decided to have a go at the boil and grill method. The manner of cooking the potatoes in this way also worked very well with grilling the hamburgers at the same time. Here’s how we faired:
- Add potatoes, garlic, and salt to a large pot.
- Boil potatoes until starting to get tender (10-12 minutes).
- Drain potatoes using a colander small enough to retain the garlic slices.
- Toss potatoes in oil, lemon juice, and lemon zest.
- Place potatoes in a grill basket and grill at 450°F for 5-7 minutes, shaking the basket every couple of minutes (alternate method would be to slice the potatoes into rounds and let them rest directly on the grill). This is also the time to put your hamburgers on the grill.
- Remove potatoes from grill basket and toss with chives, thyme, salt, and pepper
- Return to grill and place over indirect heat for another 5 – 7 minutes (Once complete, your hamburgers should be done as well).
Notes
We were unanimous on this one! We continue to love those wonderful grilled jalapeno hamburgers, but the star was the different style of roasted potatoes. They were full of flavor with that great roasted texture accompanied by classic flavors of lemon and fresh herbs. We didn’t do this, but a dollop of sour cream on the top of the potatoes wouldn’t have hurt anyone.
